If I try to select multiple notes in a measure (specifically, in a chord) by holding CMD and clicking the first note, MuseScore crashes.

In order for us to investigate, we would need you to attach the core that demonstrates this problem, and give us precise steps to reproduce the crash - tell exactly which notes to select and in what order.

I uninstalled Musescore, went to this site and downloaded and installed the latest version. On the startup dialog, I chose to Open A Score. I tapped the CMD key (the one to the right of the spacebar, not that it should make any difference) and MS crashed. I reopened MS, chose to restore session. The previous score opened. This time I was able to tap the CMD key once. A second press crashed MS. I tried this twice. Then I decided to restart MS without restoring. I chose to Create New Score. I chose Treble Clef->Done. I placed a quarter note at F above middle C, then clicked out of note entry mode. This time MS crashed on a third tap of CMD - at no time was my mouse cursor over a note.

"So a duplicate of #317323: macOS 10.5 accessibility setting “Enable Hover Text” causes crash?"

Yes. It won't won't be necessary to revert to factory settings as disabling Enable Hover Text solves the problem.
